Now on to the main courses and side dishes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>7 AM or thereabouts:  Wake up to the sound of Farah Mendelson (of the UK&#8217;s <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.sf-foundation.org\/\"> Science Fiction Foundation<\/a>) gently trouncing the host of the BBC&#8217;s weekly obituary show, <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/radio\/aod\/networks\/fivelive\/aod.shtml?fivelive\/brieflives#\">Brief Lives,<\/a> on the subject of Andre Norton (Goddess rest her):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nDotun Adebayo: Was [her] science fiction for kids, or if you like, young adults? Who were her readers, boys or girls?<\/p>\n<p>Farah:  Well, her readers were young, but it&#8217;s quite obvious that adults were reading it too.  In science fiction and fantasy, there&#8217;s very little divide between the adult and the children&#8217;s books.<\/p>\n<p>Dotun:  Well, nowadays, because of Harry Potter and so on &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Farah (firm and ever so slightly fierce):  There never has been. Let&#8217;s not go to Harry Potter.  (Laughter, a little uneasy on poor Dotun&#8217;s part&#8230;)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(chuckle) &#8230;So satisfying. I&#8217;ve been thinking so much about Andre for the past few days:  there are few writers who have mattered more to me. Since I first started reading SF at age eight, or maybe before, she was there:  she was always there.  It&#8217;s hard now to believe that she&#8217;s gone&#8230;and I look forward, in a couple of days, to having time to sit down and reread <i>Year of the Unicorn<\/i>, probably my favorite.<\/p>\n<p>(sigh) But I have to cook first.<\/p>\n<p>8 AM:  The usual. Feed cats, shower, tea. Assemble recipes. Look them over.<\/p>\n<p>9 AM:  The pork has to be prepped first. This one is going to be slowly braised in milk. It&#8217;s always in danger of being a little too bland.  So from the freezer I get out some speck (the heavily smoked, airdried bacon of Germany and Switzerland) and start it thawing. Then make a marinade for the pork loin:  olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a little rose wine, some juniper berries. Halve the loin (otherwise it won&#8217;t go into the pot), turn it in the marinade and get on with other things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooking, mostly.
